In the modern world, there is a huge selection of varieties of materials that are used to create the exterior design of various premises. That is why it is not at all easy for consumers to choose the most suitable option. This partly depends on absolute confusion, because many products have excellent characteristics, and it is quite difficult to give preference to one of them. But most often, problems with choice are associated with insufficient familiarity with specific products.
If you are looking for a high-quality option for finishing the facade of a house or other premises, then we suggest that you familiarize yourself with such products as metal cassettes, which have gained enormous popularity in recent times. These products, depending on the type, can not only satisfy with their performance qualities, but also protect the façade of the structure, and also give it a very attractive appearance.
To learn everything about this product and understand what features metal cassettes have, as well as what types are offered today, just read the material provided.
Metal cassettes. What is special about the products?
The façade cassette is a special type of cladding material and belongs to the types of façade covering similar to corrugated sheeting, as well as metal siding, etc. These products are used as cladding layers to improve ventilated curtain systems for premises for various purposes:
- commercial buildings;
- production facilities;
- residential, as well as other structures.
Materials such as metal cassettes, the production of which is carried out by both domestic and foreign manufacturers, have a special “appearance”. This is a metal finished structure with curved sides.
Facade metal cassettes are intended both for reconstruction of objects and for cladding of buildings under construction. They are relatively lightweight and have an increased service life. In addition, compared to other materials of a similar type, facade cassettes are very easy to install, which was one of the factors that influenced their popularity.
Advantages of using metal cassettes
- Affordable price. Such facade material is a great competitor to other cladding products, winning not only in quality, but also in cost.
- Light weight. Everyone understands that the lower the weight of curtain facades, including the products that are part of the subsystem, the lower the load exerted on the walls of the structure. In addition, curtained lightweight facades reduce the risk of collapse and minimize its consequences. Cassettes intended for facades (indicators range from 19 to 20 kg/meter) can have different weights depending on the material of manufacture.
- Excellent quality characteristics. Metal cassettes have a high service life, which directly depends on the type of metal coating used in the production of the facing material. They are made from aluminum, copper, and galvanized steel. Powder painting technology is used in the production process. This technique makes it possible to obtain high quality protective and decorative elements. Moreover, powder paint is an environmentally friendly material.
- A variety of colors, sizes, and shapes. Today, metal cassettes are often used in the process of cladding shopping centers, office premises, gas stations and other facilities. Their use makes it possible to create not only modern objects, but also to embody a unique look that attracts the attention of others. Together with decorative elements, this type of facing material provides enormous scope for the implementation of architectural ideas and solutions.
- Metal cassettes, the installation of which is very simple, can be used not only for exterior decoration, but also for interior decoration. Interiors created using this material will emphasize the solidity and exclusivity of the building, giving it a special chic and comfort.
- Providing additional noise and waterproofing.
- Possibility of using finishing material at any time of the year.
As you can see, metal cassettes have a huge number of advantages and deserve the attention of everyone who plans to produce high-quality and reliable finishing of facades.
What types of materials are offered today, and what are their features? This is perhaps one of the most frequently asked questions about metal cassettes. We suggest you look into this issue, which will allow you to choose the most optimal option for the upcoming work.
Before getting acquainted with the types of facade cladding depending on the material of manufacture, we suggest studying the types of products taking into account the characteristics of the fasteners.
Metal cassettes existing today are offered in two versions:
- products with invisible fastening (closed cassettes);
- material with visible fasteners (open metal cassettes).
Products with hidden fastenings must be mounted from bottom to top. Thanks to this, each subsequent cassette will cover the attachment area of the previous one.
Facade cassettes with open fastening must be installed using self-tapping screws painted to match the cladding. This will make the fastener almost invisible.

Perforated metal cassettes
Perforated products are made from iron. Most often, aluminum or galvanized steel is used in production. The peculiarity of these products is that they have a mesh appearance, while the mesh itself can be of different sizes, shapes and even have patterns. The wide range of such cladding, as well as the ease of installation that distinguishes perforated metal cassettes, have made them incredibly popular today.
This material can act not only as a product intended for finishing facades, but also in the form of decorations installed on individual areas of objects.
Perforated cassettes for facades are the most effective material that allows you to improve the appearance of a building. In addition, they effectively protect the structure from destructive processes caused by weather conditions.
Aluminum metal cassettes
This type of material is made from sheet aluminum and is widely used in the interior decoration of various buildings, as well as in the process of cladding ventilated facades and columns. Aluminum facade cassettes are no less popular today than the previously mentioned types of products.
This is explained by the fact that these products provide the ability to process large areas that do not have joints and are characterized by an even and smooth surface. Aluminum is famous for its quality characteristics; it does not cause difficulties in processing (welding, bending, etc.), which allows it to be used in the creation of non-standard decorative products. But it should be remembered that such facade elements cannot be used in all cases, for example, if you want to create a ventilated facade of a simple type, i.e., “economy class”, then for these purposes it is better to use cassettes made of galvanized steel.
If we consider the advantages of aluminum cassettes, they include:
- Possibility to choose the desired color. Compared to composite panels, which are produced in a limited number of color shades, aluminum metal cassettes can be coated in the desired shade at any time the desire arises. Painting of such elements is carried out in a special powder chamber, and in order to obtain the required shade, it is necessary to spend a small amount of time;
- excellent fire protection characteristics. Aluminum metal cassettes, compared to composite materials, are characterized by high fire safety. Moreover, they belong to non-combustible materials;
- the ability to manufacture radius elements. Aluminum makes it possible to produce round-shaped products. Such cassettes are quite often used for cladding facades because they have an attractive appearance.
Volumetric metal cassettes
3D facade cassettes have found incredible success in the implementation of many projects, since only they are able to emphasize the individuality of a building, help it acquire a unique style and exclusive image.
Thanks to individual elements that differ in size and shape, you can create a very impressive façade and allow it to acquire unique structural qualities.
3D facade cassettes are offered in a wide variety of colors, as well as a variety of textures. The main feature of such elements was the ability to produce a combination of shapes, as well as the play of shadows. This feature allows the facade to always look new, because the position of the sun will play an important role in changing the appearance. Thanks to the playful rays of the sun, a layered effect is achieved.
It is worth noting that volumetric cassettes are distinguished by a variety of geometric shapes. You can choose the most amazing polyhedrons for façade cladding, which will add volume to the building.
Installation of such cassettes will be carried out similarly to other facade materials, namely in the direction from bottom to top. Before installation, a special frame will be built, to which the metal cassettes should subsequently be attached using self-tapping screws or rivets.
Copper cassettes
This facade material is distinguished not only by its quality indicators, but also by its appearance. It is used to decorate the facades of buildings, as well as many construction and advertising structures.
Today, such material is offered by a small number of manufacturers, and it can be called a newer product on the market. Copper cassettes are available in a wide variety of colors and are durable and reliable. The material for such products is artificially aged copper sheets. Depending on the brand of the manufacturer, such products may differ in installation features, but in most cases they are complicated and require the hands of professionals. The fact is that if installed incorrectly, unevenness may form on copper products.
Copper cassettes may not be suitable for cladding every facade, so before giving them preference, you should consult with specialists who, taking into account the features of your building, will be able to give clear recommendations.
Stainless steel metal cassettes
Stainless steel is one of the most popular materials in various fields of activity. These raw materials also began to be used to create metal cassettes intended for cladding facades. This product has impeccable quality characteristics, thanks to which it has taken a leading position among finishing facade products.
Stainless steel metal cassettes are produced in a wide variety of colors, which allows you to make the facade very attractive, bright and modern. Today, there are decorative elements with a wood texture, which radiate special warmth and comfort. Stainless steel is a good solution for creating metal cassettes, and looking at the numerous buildings whose external walls are lined with this material, you can be convinced of this. A respectable, solid appearance cannot be ignored. At the same time, this product is not only distinguished by excellent decorative properties, but also has excellent quality characteristics, thanks to which the façade of the building will be reliably protected from the influence of various negative factors.

Cladding products of various designs compete in the building materials market. Particular attention is paid to the production of facade cassettes made of metal. Due to their versatility, these structures are successfully used in ventilated facade systems.
Structure of metal facade structures
Facade cassettes are made from various types of metal. The structures are attached to the outer sections of the walls and should not be subject to destructive influences from climatic conditions over many years. The most popular products are made from light and practical metals. By their design, cassettes resemble a flat, hollow box with special holes along the edges, designed for attachment to various types of facades.
The casing of façade cassettes is designed taking into account free ventilation on the surface of the walls in order to prevent the colonization of fungal infections and the settling of condensate. There are several known methods for manufacturing facade cassettes made of metal. Depending on the specification, they are given different sizes and shapes:
- square;
- rectangular;
- trapezoidal;
- oval;
- multifaceted.
Equipment for the production of metal facade cassettes
The production of facade cassettes from metal requires the presence of modern equipment equipped with additional computer technology to produce products of the highest quality.
The following types of equipment are used for the production of cladding cassettes:
- Mechanical or manual guillotine. A foot-operated device that unfurls a roofing sheet of material to give the desired shape to the finished product.
- Bending apparatus. A universal sheet bending machine that allows you to give the blank material the required shape.
- Angle notching machine. A special press designed for punching holes in metal workpieces, cutting off sharp corners and burrs.
Advantages of facade cassettes
Manufacturers of metal facade cassettes should take into account the needs of the modern building materials market. These designs have a number of advantages:
- easy installation;
- protection against corrosion of façade surfaces;
- decorative effect due to a wide range of colors;
- long service life without additional spraying and repairs.
In comparison with similar types of finishing materials, metal facade cassettes are the most affordable and in demand. You can order metal facade cassettes in any quantity from the Proflazermet company. Call or request a call back.
Among the wide variety of facade finishing materials, metal cassettes occupy a special place. They are very popular in Moscow and belong to the category of ventilated facades.
The structures look like square, rectangular or trapezoidal metal blocks, which after installation form a smooth, neat surface. What are these panels, why are they better than other materials and what are the features of their use?
Features of production and types
Essentially, metal cassettes are metal boxes that are attached to a frame. There is an air gap between them and the wall with thermal insulation. Perhaps the most difficult thing in installing these products is making the frame itself.
It must correspond to the geometry of the building and the creation of the project. Basically, fastening metal cassettes is carried out quite quickly - faster than, say, plastering.
The cladding varies according to the type of metal:
- aluminum;
- Cink Steel;
- copper.
Products can be smooth, voluminous and perforated. The difference is in decorative properties and price. They have a protective polymer coating on top. In any case, the structures are durable and easy to install. The shape and size of structures can be any, and this should be taken into account when developing a project.
Advantages
Facade panels have numerous advantages. These include:
- ease of installation and maintenance;
- fire safety;
- corrosion resistance;
- light weight;
- variety of colors;
- protection from wind and cold.
Another advantage of such cladding is that it does not deteriorate under the influence of temperature changes and precipitation. Due to its low weight, it does not load the building, unlike, for example, porcelain stoneware slabs, wood or stone. The cassettes are durable and do not require special care; they perfectly hide all the unevenness and defects of the walls. The buildings lined with them look stylish and respectable. Their color does not fade in the sun throughout their entire service life.
Mounting methods
It can be open or closed. In the first case, the fastening is carried out in such a way that the next finishing element is installed on top of the previous one. The attachment point remains on the outside of the cassette, and the clamps are painted to match and become almost invisible. With the closed type of fasteners, products are used that have one bent and one bent edge, and they overlap each other in such a way that they do not form visible joints.
Hidden mount
Open (external mount)
Application
The properties of metal cassettes make it possible to use them in finishing the facades of private houses, government, commercial institutions, and industrial buildings. This is a great way to protect a building from wind, cold and heat. The ventilated system prevents condensation from accumulating, and the air gap helps maintain the optimal temperature. Sound insulation is also enhanced, which is an additional plus. The use of panels of different shades provides decoration possibilities.
The façade system can be easily repaired if necessary, since damaged systems are simply replaced with others. Thus, buying metal cassettes for facade cladding means making a profitable investment, decorating the building, extending the life of the walls and reducing heating costs.
- Open type metal cassettes
- Closed metal cassettes
Installation of such cassettes is carried out using an open type of fastening. This is a classic method in which, as can be seen in the figure, the fasteners remain on the outer (front) side of the cassette. Hence the name - open or visible type. With this type of fastening, the clamps are painted in the color of the metal cassette, therefore they are practically invisible, and look quite aesthetically pleasing, but not as beautiful as metal cassettes at an angle of 60°.
The fundamental difference is that during installation a closed type of fastening is used, which means that the clamps remain invisible. This is ensured by the fastening technology: the cassettes are mounted from the bottom up, according to the ladder principle: the top side is attached to the subsystem, it is covered by the lower edge of the next cassette, and a rustle of 10 mm and 20 mm is formed, which is determined by the project and depends on the architectural solution. Cladding with 60° metal cassettes reduces the risk of moisture penetration into the fastenings and joints. This method of fastening allows you to achieve minimal gaps between facing materials, the entire structure looks not only uniform, but also beautiful.
